Was curious how many either use or were aware of the ability to look up addresses on your device utilizing the BMW Remote app, and then send the directions to the vehicle. It then shows up as a message on the messages folder and from there you can set the destination.

I have the ability through the OnStar remote app and my 2012 Cadillac CTSCoupe, and I was pleasantly surprised that the ability exists with the BMW app too.

I use the BMW Remote app on my iPhone 4S all the time. The Google Local Search lets you pull the address from your Contacts, paste an address into the search field or use the Microphone on the keyboard for voice entry.

Once it finds the address on the Map view, click on the List button just below the map. You will see the address ( or addresses ). Touch the address of interest and it sends it to the car almost instantly, whether you are driving or not.

How do I find out what my BMW Assist user name and password are?... assist was working when I picked up the car....ask my CA? BMW Remote won't let me log in...account locked... BMW Connected drive working well. The remote app looks cool but my user name and password from my BMW USA account isn't the one for it so there must be a unique one for BMW Assist.

Go to My BMW online or press the BMW assist button in the vehicle and the rep should be able to help you.

I'm having the same issue. Unsure of my user name and pw and I can't sign up on the BMW website either.

My wife is currently driving out of state. I sent an address to her (from classic Google maps) and as I showed her she got to Messages (2012 X5) but when she clicks on the address she says it does not activate the navigation.

I only tested this once about a week ago and I don't remember what step(s) she is missing and she is not good with using the knob.

Any quick help about what she might do to activate the address (her destination for tonight) in the nav?

I also tried to use the BMW remote app to resend the address but the app tells me "ignition is on. location not displayed for privacy reasons" when I tried to use "vehicle position". What can I do about that kind of issue to help her? Fortunately I can see her on FindMyPhone but soon I will be flying to Russia and she will be out on her own.
